Softcover. London, Hard Case Crime, 1st thus, 2018, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, colorful wraps with a retro-style illustration by Robert McGinnis. It begins on Death Row, with a condemned man refusing the services of the lawyer assigned to defend him. It begins with a beautiful woman dead, murdered--Vassilia Caroline Baird, known to all simply as V. That's where this extraordinary novel begins. But the story it tells begins years earlier, on a struggling farm in the shadow of the Great Depression and among the brawling "cat skinners" of Southern California, driving graders and bulldozers to tame the American West. And the story that unfolds, in the masterful hands of acclaimed author Oakley Hall, is a lyrical outpouring of hunger and grief, of jealousy and corruption, of raw sexual yearning and the tragedy of the destroyed lives it leaves in its wake. Unpublished for more than half a century, SO MANY DOORS is Hall's masterpiece, an excoriating vision of human nature at its most brutal, and one of the most powerful books you will ever read.

Hardcover. NY, Alfred A. Knopf, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. SIGNED BY RUSSO on the title page. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, in upstate New York, and to the characters that captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of readers in his beloved best sellers Nobody's Fool and Everybody's Fool. Russo, who won the Pulitzer Prize for literature for "Empire Falls", has added this third novel to his stories about life in Bath, New York. It's been about 30 years first novel, "Nobodys fool" that turned into a movie starring Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy (in her final performance) and so a number of the characters are now dead, but their presence echoes through the minds of their children and friends who are now the central characters in "Everybody's Fool." Russo masterfully tells a story about a single weekend in a town that has been consumed by its bigger and more robust town to the north effectively erasing it from maps. His characters are fully developed and by the time we finish the book we know them all well. And we like most of them and even relate to some of them. Clean, bright copy.
